The English language arrived in Australia with the first motley bunch of European settlers on 26 January 1788. Today there is clearly a distinctive Australian regional dialect with its own place among the global family of ‘Englishes’. How did this come about? Where did the distinctive pattern, accent, and verbal inventions that make up Aussie English come from? A lively narrative, this book tells the story of the birth, rise and triumphant progress of the colourful dingo lingo that we know today as Aussie English.

Australian Western in the Fifties: Kangaroo, Hopalong Cassidy on Tour, and Whiplash looks at Australian Westerns from three points of view—film, personal appearance, and television at the beginning, middle, and end of the 1950s, the American Western’s golden age. It looks at three significant but “forgotten” cases: (1) Kangaroo: The Australian Story, the first Technicolor film made in Australia, produced by the Hollywood movie studio 20th Century Fox, directed by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lewis Milestone, starring Maureen O’Hara, Peter Lawford, and Richard Boone. (2) The successful goodwill tour of Australia by the Hollywood actor William Boyd who played the film, radio, and television cowboy Hopalong Cassidy. (3) The British-American produced black-and-white TV series Whiplash, made in Australia and starring the Hollywood actor Peter Graves. The American filmmakers’ ignorance of Australia meant they learned the hard way there was more to Australian Westerns than simply replacing the prairie with the bush, bison with kangaroos, and Native Americans with Aboriginals. Indeed, the depiction of place and the presentation of Aboriginal culture are two of the most intriguing aspects of Australian Westerns. In retelling the filmmakers’ stories, a unique picture of the Australian film and television industry and everyday life during the 1950s is revealed.

Dripping in detail, Judith Dring’s Pearl: An Australian Story brings to life the complex nature of a small Australian town. The realness of the world Judith Dring creates is truly remarkable and should not be missed. Set during wartime in the 1940s, the country and small towns of Australia still reel with the social issues of sex and race. Sally, innocent but with keen eyes and a sharp mind, is slowly exposed to these ever-present facts of small town life. In a world speckled with abusive husbands and wealthy classmates, Sally must work through the inequity of being a poor female to find a better life. Through much of her youth, her best friend, Pearl, opens her eyes to the world around her. However, as Sally will learn later, Pearl is an outcast herself. When Pearl must leave her, will Sally be able to navigate the path to adulthood and success on her own?

From the 1920s until the outbreak of the Second World War, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand filled British shop windows, newspaper columns, and cinema screens with “British to the core” Canadian apples, “British to the backbone” New Zealand lamb, and “All British” Australian butter. In remarkable yet forgotten advertising campaigns, prime ministers, touring cricketers, “lady demonstrators,” and even boxing kangaroos were pressed into service to sell more Dominion produce to British shoppers. But as they sold apples and butter, these campaigns also sold a Dominion-styled British identity. Selling Britishness explores the role of commodity marketing in creating Britishness. Dominion settlers considered themselves British and marketed their commodities accordingly. Meanwhile, ambitious Dominion advertising agencies set up shop in London to bring British goods, like Ovaltine, back to the dominions and persuade their fellow citizens to buy British. Conventionally nationalist narratives have posited the growth of independent national identities during the interwar period, though some have suggested imperial sentiment endured. Felicity Barnes takes a new approach, arguing that far from shaking off or relying on any lasting sense of Britishness, Dominion marketing produced it. Selling Britishness shows that when constructing Britishness, advertisers employed imperial hierarchies of race, class, and gender. Consumption worked to bolster colonialism, and advertising extended imperial power into the everyday. Drawing on extensive new archives, Selling Britishness explores a shared British identity constructed by marketers and advertisers during advertising’s golden age.

This is a story of gum trees, cobbled streets and long cups of tea shared between good friends. It is a story that spans over a century. It encompasses rural Victorian life in the early period of Australian settlement to life in the suburbs of Melbourne in the present day. This stirring tale captures the freedom of romping through native bushland and of sleeping under the stars. It is also a tale of waking up in a mice-ridden cellar and studying by the stub of a candle's glow. Jim's biography moves rapidly from one poignant account to another – a miraculous deliverance from addictive smoking, two world wars, life as a ganger on the railway and then as a Missioner to the 'lowest of the low' in Melbourne city. He lived for nearly twenty years among drunks, thieves, murderers and other hurting and damaged souls ravaged by alcohol abuse. James Collett drew the best out of each person he knew. He was 'Jim', 'Mr C', 'Uncle Jim,' 'Dad' and 'Grandpa'. By whichever name he was fondly and respectfully called, his legacy lives on. Jim's biography will inspire and change you. You will not be able to look at your world and life in the same way again. About reading this book: The story that you are about to read is in fact a story within a story. Or more accurately, a compilation of many stories – after all, our lives are made up of many moments and events. Some events have distinct beginnings and ends, while others just merge quietly into the next. Some events in our lives are more memorable than others while others are made memorable because we choose to grace them with our attention. As this particular story goes, it is a little of both . . . At the start of each chapter (and sometimes at the end as well) you will find what I call 'cameo conversations and exchanges' that have to do with more current events in Jim's life. These have been added to give you additional insight into Jim's character and relationships as well as giving you a peek at some 'behind the scenes' stuff. But, if you are only interested in a straight forward chronological narrative of this unique, yet typical-of-the-era Australian, skip those passages typeset in sans-serif text. You can come back to these later – if you wish. However, if you are up to the challenge, you could read it as it is . . . (For those familiar with The French Lieutenant's Woman as well as fans of the very popular TV series Lost and Once Upon a Time, this should not prove too daunting an approach.) I've tried to allow Jim's 'voice' to be reflected in his biography as much as possible. As such, minimal editing has been undertaken in the 'main' passages in order to preserve, wherever possible, the narrative style of an 'oral tradition'. REVIEWS Jim Collett's life which spans more than a century from his birth in 1902 with descriptions as a rural laborer appear far-fetched and removed from our comfortable, well-nourished lives today. His matter-of-fact descriptions of growing up in a large poor family in a rural town, his rudimentary schooling with few resources or books, the need to leave school early and find work far from home were in fact the norm for large numbers of his generation. Today's parents and young people would be shocked by the freedom young people had to roam the countryside with no supervision. Jim's life resonates with some of the anecdotes told to me of their earlier life, by my parents and their friends who also grew up in the country. Jim learnt the hard way that not all employers were humane or honest – yet his story bears no resentment. Jim's gentle, trusting nature shines through. Jim's recollections of life as a railway ganger records something of the lives of the men who hammered out the rail netwo
